South Africa in Pakistan - 2007

Start of Pakistan's innings. Inzi needs 6 runs to equal Miandad's record.
 
well a good start so far from Younis and Akmal, and Asif might be done for the ODIs and he probably is so we might see Tanwir in there and someone else.
 
Looks like this test could be saved,

199 runs to get with 8 wickets in hand. How many sessions left? If they have 2 it might be on. Younis Yousuf and Inzamam are pretty amazing batsman.
 
well thats quite a sad way to end a brilliant career, well played inzamam-ul-haq...
 
I think its a matter of survival now for Pak, they can go for it though, 167 runs in one hour... interesting what they want to do.
 
Game over. Drawn.

On a very horrible note; Vernon Philander and The SA Assistant coach were racially abused with monkey chants. Pakistani police forces removed around a dozen people from the stadium as a result, they were mostly school students.
 
Well now Inzamam finishes his career without a 50+ averages or the leading Test runscorer for Pakistan.

I would've just retired.
 
dame Inzamam did not break the record..anyway here are his word after the match

Inzamam speaks in his native tongue: "I am going today but I would like to thank you for all the support that you all have given me for the last 17 years. I would also like to thank the members of the board for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank you the selectors also for selecting me for these 17 years. I thank my seniors and colleagues for supporting me. Special mention to the boys, in this team, who played under my captaincy and for extending support.

I thank my family, my brother and sisters. Especially, my father, who would be really sad that I am quitting the game. Also, my wife for supporting me thick and thin through everything.

"Unfortunately I couldn't finish this game on a high. But that's the way it goes sometimes." Inzamam picked the 1992 World Cup as the highlight of his career.

Inzy walks towards his team-mates. Younis Khan gives him a big hug and one by one each and everyone of his team-mates do the same. Shoaib Malik can't hold back his tears.

The way he approached his innings he was going for the win not caring about his stats,that what summed his career for inzi,

We all will miss you Inzi,Wish You All The very best.
 
I'd have rather gone for the milestones if I'm honest. To be fair, before this game I would have bet my house that Inzi would be able to score 20 runs in two innings.
 
In fairness his average for Pakistan is still above 50 - 50.16. This is, of course, taking out the World XI match which was a massive waste of time and should not be reflected in anyone's statistics.
 
Thanks Inzi, wish you luck on your new life ahead. LEGEND!
